Student FAQ

How It Works

• How does the program work?
  The Immediate Access program simplifies obtaining course materials by covering costs through a charge to your student account. Students enrolled in an Immediate Access course will be able to access all required materials on or before the first day of class. The Wildcat Bookstore prepares and organizes all necessary materials for you. Be sure to check your @csuchico.edu email and read emails from immediateaccess@csuchico.edu for information about the Immediate Access program.
• Who is participating in the program?
  Your campus is participating in the Immediate Access program to provide access on the first day of class and help save students money on required course materials. After you are enrolled in an Immediate Access course, you have the opportunity to opt-out or opt back in once the semester begins. To receive a full refund of material costs, students must opt-out before the Friday of the 2nd week of the semester. Students who would like to review the option to opt-out of the program, please review the FAQ titled “Opting-Out (Google Doc).”
• How do I get my course materials?
  You will receive confirmation emails sharing details about how to access digital materials through Canvas. If your instructor has ordered physical materials, you will pick them up at the Wildcat Bookstore. If your instructor has ordered digital materials and you would like a physical copy instead, please contact the Wildcat Bookstore at immediateaccess@csuchico.edu to request the physical material
